Hi All

looks like there will be a new updated macrovision incorporated
into future dvd releases to stop casual ripping and p2p shares.

here for short story.

no doubt some clever bod will quickly find a way around it so
that we can still back up our expensive collections?

I've had a look at the Macrovision website - and it's 97% guff, quite frankly! The only part which makes any sort of sense is the "Unique Digital Framework" diagram, and that doesn't suggest that the new protection will be particularly effective.

Also, they claim 100% compatibility with existing DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. If that claim is genuine, the protected discs would have to be entirely compliant with the DVD standard - which wouldn't be likely if a highly radical and drastic method of protection had been used.

Time will tell - but the pirates are usually one or two steps ahead on these matters.
